DNA box-assisted T7 transcription techniques combined with Cas13a for detection of the influenza A (H1N1) virus
The influenza A (H1N1) virus continues to undergo mutations, posing a serious threat to public health. In this study, an innovative system was developed using a transcriptional isothermal amplification scheme combined with a DNA box for detection of H1N1 RNA. The split T7 promoter was assembled on four edges of the hexahedral DNA box to form two target-capturing robotic arms. Transcribed ssRNA was accurately recognized by the Cas13a system and used the trans-cleavage activity to release a fluorescent signal. As compared to the traditional split T7 technique, the novel DNA box greatly improved the reaction rate and biological stability in complex organisms. The sensor platform strategy enabled stable and accurate detection of H1N1 RNA with detection limits as low as the fM level. In general, the proposed system provided a good sensing tool for virus diagnosis and monitoring with great potential in environmental and public health applications.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
